Product Description

Description

After an unsettling encounter with the Dracula, Buffy asks Giles to once again be her Watcher. Luckily he agrees, for Buffy is about to face mortal problems far more threatening than the undead: the sudden appearance of a sister named Dawn, her mother’s mysterious illness and Spike’s undying devotion. Then an undefeatable demon appears, forcing Buffy to turn to an ancient Spirit Guide who tells her that love is her greatest gift — and power.

Buffy Season 5 - My Favorite of Them All!! July 29 2003
Format:DVD
Season 5 of Buffy is one of those amazing examples when all the story-telling elements come together to create a unified and explosive plotline arc. This season has everything: a deposed God, mideval knights, the watchers council, monks, lots of dark witchcraft, Dracula, two Xanders, the newly arrived little sister that turns out to be timeless destructive energy, Spike fighting for the good guys, the First Slayer, crazy robots, brain-sucking, aliens from outerspace, a really cute doctor, and the deaths of two main characters!!

Glory is by far (in my opinion) the best big bad ever! She's fantastically powerful, but at the same time really ditzy. She fits perfectly into the Buffy-verse: scary & funny, but believable all at the same time. This season also cements in Tara and Spike as scoobies. And it introduces Warren for the first time (who will figure largely into the plot of Season 6).

The highlights of the Season: Fool for Love (Spike's past), The Body (realistic look at death), Tough Love (first glimpse at Dark Willow), and The Gift (my favorite season finale & the death of another main character).

And as with all good things, there are some low points. Listening to Fear (alien is summoned to kill crazy people), and Family (Tara's creepy family arrive) aren't the best, but they're still better than most of what's on TV. Bad Buffy is a lot like bad pizza: even when it's bad, it's still pretty good! OK--corny, I know, but it makes a point! Also, I'm a huge Riley (Marc Blucas) fan, and was sad to see him go this season (he goes on to make a guest appearance in Season 6).

In conclusion, buy Buffy Season 5 on DVD!!! Buy several--buy them as holiday presents!! People will be glad you did!

A Great Way To Go Out...Sort Of April 11 2004
Format:DVD
Though many viewers were fooled into believing that the fifth sesaon was the end of this great series (well maybe not many, but at least me), it was just a transition phase, signalling the end of the shows WB roots, and the beginning of its UPN ties. And what a transition season it would be. Buffy season five is the best season of the show, save the equally excellent final season. The show is truly great. Viewers see Buffy evolve into a truly formidable slayer, Willow become a powerful witch, Spike become a hero, and other characters become the best they could. The season is excellent, definitely worth the money it costs for the season.

Season 5 was worth the wait Mar 24 2004
Format:DVD
As someone who did not have the opportunity to follow Buffy on televesion, I've been anxiously awaiting each DVD release. Season 5 was worth the wait. Admittedly I was a little skeptical about the introduction of Dawn. However, her character grew on me. Speaking of new characters, I loved the addition of Glory and her assistants. As always the character interactions and plot twists were masterfully done. I can't wait for Season6!

so very good
what do I love about this season? well, everything really. The Dawn, Glory, and Joyce storyline were superbly done. I don't think I've been moved so much since season 2.

deceptions
The fifth season of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER feels casual, exuding, particularly in its first few episodes, an almost thrown-together quality. Read more

Another great season. Glorific, in fact. Great price too.
This was the season where Buffy gained a sister, lost her mother, dumped Riley, began to feel a once-unthinkable attraction to Spike, and explored the dark side of being a Slayer. Read more
